[Belfast] Nakba 66: Film Screening – Budrus (Internacia Kolektivo)

In commemoration of the Day of the Nakba, the annual day to commemorate the displacement of Palestinians from their land in 1948, Internacia Kolektivo will show the award-winning documentary ‘Budrus.’ Afterward, there will be a short presentation and discussion with Fra Hughes, director of Palestine Aid and committed activist.

Budrus is an award-winning feature documentary film about a Palestinian community organizer, Ayed Morrar, who unites local Fatah and Hamas members along with Israeli supporters in an unarmed movement to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel’s Separation Barrier. Success eludes them until his 15-year-old daughter, Iltezam, launches a women’s contingent that quickly moves to the front lines. Struggling side by side, father and daughter unleash an inspiring, yet little-known, movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories that is still gaining ground today.
